emma bunton and jade jones

Emma Bunton has said she has no plans to marry boyfriend of ten years, Jade Jones.

The former Spice Girl told the Mirror recently: “According to the press I’ve been engaged about 20 times over the years, but I can assure you, I’m not.

“We don’t feel the need to get married. It’s not that we haven’t talked about it, we’re just happy the way things are.

“Jade is a rock. We have loads in common and laugh at the same things. Our friends tease us because we still kiss in public and hold hands.”

But she admits that former Damage star Jade is no longer the number 1 man in her life - not since the arrival of their son Beau in August 2007: “Beau is my all, my life and the reason I’m happier than ever.

“I’m enjoying being a mummy most of all, he’s so gorgeous. He’s so good and funny and loves his cuddles.

“After having such a wonderful little thing, I can’t wait to have another.”
